Nikon D7000 color issue (oversaturated)

Aztecaphoto
Hello All:
I just shot a session with a Nikon D7000 in raw.
The files opened on CO 6.1.1 are oversaturated, mainly in red.
The embebbed profile is "D7000 generic", the proof is Adobe RGB and the output is "embebbed camera" profile, so "WYSIWYG" (???). I also tried Adobe RBG and sRGB output. The result is the same.
I tried the ICC "Nikon D3s V2" and is less saturated, but the result is not pleased to the eyes, as I´m shooting studio portraits.
Then I tried the "D3x V2" and is acceptable. I have to do the job done with this one.
The few jpg files are quite nice.
Any one experienced this? Any advice for future shots?

Regards

Juan Antonio

    I suggest to leave the proof profiling set to Selected Recipe. Another suggestion, based on the assumption you have the Pro version, is to create an adapted profile with Color Editor. Desaturate the red, save it as a custom profile and use that for your following shots.
    You can add more tools in the equation to establish a result you like, and create a style for it. Apply that style while you import or afterwards (if you do not import with CO).

    A client of mine asked me to look at the D7000 profile included with C1 6, he was also not happy with the colour balance of his images.

    I came up with a new replacement ICC profile that solves many of the problems and gives a much more balanced image.

    I have posted an example below, just Film Standard Curve and ICC Profile no other PP except a resize.

    It looks great.
    Where can I get it?
    A google search point me to an another raw converter, which I´m not intended to use.

    Same to me. The image appear with horizontal stripes.
    The best is making a personal profile. Some times using "Canon 5d markII) profile worked, specially for skin tones.
